It's pretty clear that the stance of a govt does not always reflect the views of its population on all issues. If the Palestinian people are saying they want peace and Hamas is stating it doesn't want peace, then Hamas isn't speaking for the people when it speaks on that issue, anymore than Ariel Sharon reflected the views of many Israelis when he spoke publicly on Arafat's return from Tunisia at the begining of the Oslo Accords and said the only reason Arafat was returning was to create a Palestinian state, and Sharon was not going to let a Palestinian state happen....
